Ostapenko and Hsieh advance at US Open amid confrontation with opponents

Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei secured a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Chan Hao-ching and Maya Joint in the third round of the US Open. The match concluded with audible tension as Ostapenko and Hsieh directed their post-match celebrations toward the opponents' coaching box. Both players had previously complained to the tournament supervisor regarding behavior from the opposing team during the match. Chan departed the court without a customary handshake, extending a public rivalry with Hsieh that dates back to disputes regarding national team representation and selection. Ostapenko and Hsieh, seeded No. 4, moved into the tournament quarterfinals following the win. The duo is scheduled to face No. 8 seeds Elise Mertens and Diana Shnaider in the next round.
